Overload can feel comforting because it removes the need to make difficult choices and keeps us constantly occupied. Endless notifications, scrolling, and tasks create a sense of momentum that distracts us from uncertainty, reflection, or uncomfortable emotions. However, this comfort is temporary. Rather than solving problems, overload postpones them while gradually reducing our clarity, focus, and peace of mind. In many ways, we choose overload because silence and stillness can feel more challenging than constant stimulation. The comfort it provides is not true ease; it's a form of escape.
